Normally you suggest some good music but man, that was total crap.



I saw this thread yesterday and have been thinking about it and can not think of anything worth posting about. 2009 has been a crap year for music.

I like La Roux despite every fibre of my being telling me she is a sub-par Yazoo tribute act who looks uncannily like the secret lovechild of Sporty Spice and Mark Curry...

I feel so out of it. I've never even heard 90% of these bands you cool kids are naming. I'm not hip to the scene, it would seem.

I can't stop listening to that Crystal Fighter's track, Kaufman. Kudos.
